Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 634 A story from the reign (9)

“Khahaha!”

Seo-ryang burst out laughing like crazy.

Her red face was overflowing with joy.

“He’s that kind of guy? Well, I was confident that I had gone through all the hardships of life in my own way, but this was my first time seeing a wall like that. So, with that skill, you may still be acting as my escort.”

“I see.”

The Great Power Mazon smiled.

“Still, I envy Howie Ma.”

“What are you jealous of? “What is that personality?”

“Of course, I envy your personality. I had a brief conversation with Howie Ma before, and he seemed like a truly upright person. I actually thought that his temperament would be suitable for the next Great Protector.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“It doesn’t suit me at all. Of course, if you put him in that position, he will do his job well, but his nature is not suited to the position of Daehobeop.”

“It’s nature, shouldn’t we fix it somehow?”

“You are right. But what’s the point of messing with something that doesn’t need to be repaired? “Changing one’s nature is not that easy.”

“Huh, somehow it seems like the leader has experienced it.”

“Hey, you don’t even know what you’re looking at? “Do you think I have the personality to be a cult leader?”

The Great Power Mazon chuckled.

“Are you being honest?”

“That’s it. “I already read it all through your expression.”

“I apologize.”

“I need to issue a separate law for Protestant churches. “I’m so sick of hearing that guy say he’s sorry.”

“Certainly the leader is not suitable for that position.”

“yes? Puhahaha!”

What was so good about it made Seoryang burst into laughter.

The Byeokryeok Mazon also smiled and looked at Seoliang.

It was my first time drinking alone with the religious leader like this. I didn’t have to do that because I was busy, and I consciously avoided it, so if it’s natural, should I say it’s natural?

‘I think I know somehow.’

Suddenly, I thought of the former leader.

‘I now understand the full force of what my lord said.’

He recalled his conversation with Lee Cheon-sang.

– You seem sad.

– …no.

– How dare you tell a lie? In front of me and no one else.

– ….

– But I understand how you feel. As someone who knows how sad it is, I will forgive that lie just this once.

– I am devastated.

– I didn’t really want to give you comfort. But I called you here because I see a scene from the distant future.

– Please leave school.

– You will probably risk your life for him.

-…!

– By your own will, not by anyone else.

– That’s….

– Don’t say it’s obvious. Although they don’t show it on the outside, I don’t know that there are no other Mazons whose likes and dislikes are as clear as yours.

– sorry.

– I just wanted to let you know. That fact.

– ….

– However, if you think you are dissatisfied with yourself, go kill him right now. Even if you kill Xiaoqiao, you won’t be charged with treason.

The former religious leader probably knew everything. He said that he would never kill Seoliang from his Xiaogyo days.

Furthermore, calling yourself and having a conversation may be part of the picture you see for the future. He was probably only responsible for one piece of that huge picture.

But why?

‘I don’t feel bad.’

I was in agony for several months. It was only much later that I learned that Sogyo had achieved great achievements while traveling to the central plains. Because I blocked my ears on purpose.

But only here now.

Only then did the Byeokryeok Mazon realize.

‘I was pouring out hatred towards an object that had no need to be hated in the first place.’

Yes.

He didn’t hate Seoliang in the first place. However, if he did not even pretend to hate him, he would not be looked upon by the family members who left first.

So I acted. I fooled myself.

‘Then how did I not hate this person?’

The Great Power Mazon smiled.

I realized this while asking myself.

‘It’s that smile.’

Seoliang bursts into laughter.

All kinds of emotions hidden in that smile pounded his heart.

‘I’ve seen and heard that smile.’

He recalled a time in the past.

– That’s truly amazing. Kidnapping was responded to with kidnapping? And all of the Beast Palace Lord’s disciples! Truly, distribution is something you are born with!

– He just has a shitty personality. When I think about it now, I feel dizzy. If they had used the same technique as me, the hostages here would have been in danger as well.

– Looking at my wolf and three gongs, I don’t think he would have kept that part in mind. There must have been a trick, right?

– There was nothing like that. However, the intensity of the threat may have been increased. After all, fighting is about momentum, right?

– her? haha! The Three Confucius is right!

At that time, it was none other than Xu Liang when he was the Emperor of the Three Confucius before he became Xiao Qiao.

It was truly a coincidence. By chance, Mazon was passing near the residence of the Three Dukes and there he read a familiar prayer.

It was Gorumazon.

It must have been the time when Gorumazon entered the residence of the three princes for the first time and shared his masterpiece. The Byeokryeok Mazon killed the sight and hid and overheard the conversation between the two people.

The two people, who were very drunk, did not notice the Byeokryeok Majon’s signs of popularity. Thanks to this, he was able to see and hear the two people’s conversation directly with their smiling faces.

‘It was like that.’

At that time, it was said that Byeokryeok Mazon looked at Seoryang as if he was possessed.

Because his smile, his tired smile, and yet his burning eyes were so gorgeous.

Still, I was surprised because I couldn’t read any ferocity.

‘Maybe then I would have let go of all my hatred for this person.’

Is this really the right thing to do?

I couldn’t figure it out. Even though he should have been angry when his family members died at the hands of this young man in front of him, he could not hate him.

An incomprehensible feeling. That’s why Byeokryeok Mazon hated himself.

But now.

Not anymore.

“Master.”

“hmm? why? Oh, the glass is empty. “I’ll give you another drink.”

The Byeokryeok Mazon stood up from his seat without saying a word.

Seo-ryang’s face, which was full of laughter, suddenly became expressionless.

The Byeokryeok Mazon knelt down and bowed.

“I have bowed down to the religious leader many times, but I have never once considered the religious leader to be my lord.”

“…I know.”

“You can think of it as the stubbornness of an old man, or you can call it the greed of an old man with a grudge. “The important thing is that even until now, my master has been the head of the former cult.”

“Yeah, I know that too.”

“But if you give me the chance, I would like to change the object of my loyalty right here and now.”

Xu Liang’s eyes wavered.

“A wallop.”

“Please leave school, teacher.”

“…I’m sorry.”

“How can you say that?”

Grumble.

Seo-ryang cleared the drinking table and held the hand of the Demon Lord.

The Great Power Mazon raised his head in surprise.

Seo-ryang’s eyes were fluttering. Although he didn’t shed any tears, his eyes were filled with moisture as if tears were about to pour out at any moment, and the Byeokryeokmazon felt himself crying as well.

“What can I say to you? Anything you say will only sound like an excuse. “I wanted you to know how much pain I suffered, but it is also your right to know that, and it is something I cannot force.”

“Master.”

“All I could do was show my ugly side like this in front of you.”

It was only then that I could understand the Byeokryeok Mazon. Why was Seo-ryang so drunk?

Seoryang was the person who reached the point where he could not get drunk even if he drank several buckets of alcohol in succession. So to speak, Xu Liang was drunk on purpose.

And why did he get drunk on purpose?

“I was afraid that my instincts would react to your killing spree.”

The Pyeongyeokmazon’s eyes wavered.

“Master.”

“I realized this only after going to the cemetery today. “I will keep my promise to them until the end, but I cannot truly be sorry because I have no memory of them.”

“I know.”

“But I also know how it feels to lose someone of my own. “I lost Goru and I lost Master.”

“…!”

“Still, since you are the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, even if you told me to put a sword in my chest, it would have only sounded like you were making fun of me. So I had no choice but to get drunk. “If you try to kill me, I will die humbly.”

The Great Power Mazon also held Seo-ryang’s hand tightly.

Xiliang lowered his head.

“Thank you for forgiving me.”

The Great Power Mazon shook his head.

“How can you, the religious leader, instead of saying what I should say? It is I who needs to ask for forgiveness. For years, I lived with different feelings towards the person to whom I was supposed to pledge my allegiance. “How can I repay this sin while still alive?”

“Don’t say that.”

“However, if the religious leader forgives this poor old god, I will swear that I will be loyal even if it is only for the short time I have left.”

Xiliang raised his head.

His expression, full of indescribable emotions, touched the old servant’s heartstrings.

“I’m not a good enough person to deserve your loyalty.”

“Although I am an old man who is not very bright, I am proud of the skills I have accumulated so far. “Who else would receive this old man’s loyalty other than the religious leader?”

The Byeokryeok Mazon bowed again.

“From now on, I will work hard to reform for the sake of the leader.”

“…Thank you.”

Xu Liang squeezed his shoulder tightly.

“Thank you for forgiving me.”

He says he is grateful not because he pledged loyalty, but because he has forgiven him.

Looking at this, I felt that he was truly weak, unbecoming the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church. The leader of a Protestant religion is someone who deserves to be feared throughout the world with his unrivaled dignity, but isn’t he showing a very humane side?

But the Byeokryeok Mazon thought. It is said that this character of the lord created the current history.

I thought that the reason why he was able to become the first Heavenly Demon to swallow up the world for the first time since the First Heavenly Demon was because of his humanity.

‘Now is the time.’

The Byeokryeok Mazon looked up at the sky outside the pavilion.

‘I am finally saved.’

He grabbed the bottle.

“I will raise a glass of wine.”

“Okay, let’s get a drink.”

* * *

Jincheon, who was watching the two people from an unseen place, waved his hand.

“All missions of the Hocheon Demon Emperor are lifted.”

The senior leader looked at him in surprise.

“You mean you’re released from duty?”

“I will handle the remaining missions alone. “Let everyone get some rest.”

“Is that okay?”

The discipline of the Hocheonma Hwangdan competes for the lead even in Shingyo. Disobeying orders to abstain was itself a serious crime.

In other words, it meant that the senior leader was surprised.

Jincheon seemed to understand his feelings and did not punish him.

“One of the reasons why our Hocheon Demon Emperor Order has been guarding our leader without resting for years is because of that powerful mazone. “He was someone who did not know his true intentions and would pose a great threat if he committed treason.”

“….”

“But now the only dangerous factor in our church has entered the cult leader’s family.”

Jincheon looked around at the members and said.

“It’s been a hard time. “Get some rest today.”

The senior leader smiled.

“Then today, I will trust only Danju and rest well.”

“Of course.”

Slurp.

The entire Hocheon Demon Emperor group disappeared like ghosts.

Jincheon looked down at Seoliang.

It was really nice to see Seoryang’s smile bursting into laughter.

“…Congratulations, Master.”
